More From Jon Krakauer

You will want a book which contains not man's thoughts, but god's - not a book that may amuse you, but a book that can save you - not even a book that can instruct you, but a book on which you can venture an eternity - not only a book which can give relief to your spirit, but redemption to your soul - a book which contains salvation, and conveys it to you, one which shall at once be the saviour's book and the sinner's.

Pictures are the idea in visual or pictorial form; and the idea has to be legible, both in the individual picture and in the collective context - which presupposes, of course, that words are used to convey information about the idea and the context. however, none of this means that pictures function as illustrations of an idea: ultimately, they are the idea. nor is the verbal formulation of the idea a translation of the visual: it simply bears a certain resemblance to the meaning of the idea. it is an interpretation, literally a reflection.

That's one of the many things about having the bookstore that i adore. i can walk into the store and say to somebody, "i'm glad you're reading this book" or "i'm glad you're getting this book" or "don't get that book. i read that book and hated that book. let's get you this book instead."

It is very hard to enroll people in anything. and there is a very big difference between the words motivate and inspire. motivation means we have an idea and we are going to carry through on that idea. we work hard at it, and we are disciplined. a highly motivated person takes an idea, goes out there, and won't let anybody interfere with them. inspiration is exactly the opposite. if motivation is when you get hold of an idea and carry it through to its conclusion, inspiration is the reverse. an idea gets hold of you and carries you where you are intended to go.

If i were really asked to define myself, i wouldn’t start with race; i wouldn’t start with blackness; i wouldn’t start with gender; i wouldn’t start with feminism. i would start with stripping down to what fundamentally informs my life, which is that i’m a seeker on the path. i think of feminism, and i think of anti-racist struggles as part of it. but where i stand spiritually is, steadfastly, on a path about love.

Start her, now; give 'em the long and strong stroke, tashtego. start her, tash, my boy-start her, all; but keep cool, keep cool-cucumbers is the word-easy, easy-only start her like grim death and grinning devils, and raise the buried dead perpendicular out of their graves, boys-that's all. start her!

Most of the time after the us open, it is kind of like you are trying to finish strong. but to do it five years and maybe six is something that has never been done before, so it is a huge challenge.

Human nature will not change. in any future great national trial, compared with the men of this, we shall have as weak and as strong, as silly and as wise, as bad and as good. let us therefore study the incidents in this as philosophy to learn wisdom from and none of them as wrongs to be avenged.

The ties that bind us are stronger than the occasional stresses that separate us.
Stress Ties Stronger
Strong emotional experiences are for the most part impersonal. anyone who has hated another person so much that only chance stands between that person and death knows this, as does whoever has fallen into the catastrophe of a deep depression, anyone who has loved a woman to the dregs, anyone who has beaten others bloody or ever come up behind another person with muscles trembling. "losing one's head," language calls it. emotional experience is, in itself, poor in qualities; qualities are brought to it by the person who has the experience.
